✦ Synopsis

Systemic autonomic nerve function was assessed in 67 patients with open-angle glaucoma and 76 age-and sex-matched control subjects, using a series of well-established tests based upon cardiovascular reflex responses to standardised stimuli. Parasympathetic neuropathy was present in 37.3% of open-angle glaucoma patients compared with 2.6% of the control group. Demonstration of a significant association between autonomic neuropathy and primary glaucoma may provide a logical rationale for the efficacy of autonomic medication in glaucoma therapeutics; the prognostic implications are discussed.

The retinal ganglion cell exhibits two types of functional change. The difference in response appears to depend on whether or not the retrobulbar portion of the optic nerve is actively involved. This may imply differences in the myelinated and nonmyelinated portions of the optic nerve and associated

Fourteen patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma were evaluated prospectively by electroretinography and the results were compared with normal controls who were matched for age and sex. All glaucoma patients had visual acuity of 20/50 or better, cup4o-disc ratios of 0.7 or greater in at least one
